Chapter 430: Edmund's Ambition III.
Dean was standing at the entrance to the wizard's tower on the eighth floor, which was quite a vantage point—
The narrowness of the entrance, Dean only needs to take a step back, he doesn't need to face more enemies, and in the case that he is a single person and the enemy is plural, one-on-one is naturally the best choice.
Dean didn't do that, though.
In his right hand, he carried the imitation. The Dragon's Head Sword], just like that, at full speed, rushed straight into the eighth layer of the wizard tower.
Bang!
The left shoulder slammed into the four-armed monster in front.
Suddenly, the four-armed monster in front of him was like a little sheep that was knocked off by a rhinoceros, with a muffled sound, his feet flew off the ground, and even more four-armed monsters behind him became rolling gourds.
Woo!
In a dull gust of wind pressure, [imitation. The Dragon's Head Greatsword was rounded by Dean and spun in the wizard tower on the eighth floor, and those four-armed monsters who had just fallen to the ground were shredded in the next moment.
"Gah! Ga! ”
The flying head let out a terrible scream.
It's unusually harsh and dizzying.
"Roar!"
For this kind of monster transformed by Edmund, who can fly and is good at perception and long-range attacks, Dean raised his head and let out a [Giant Roar].
Immediately, with a terrible scream, it sonic waves hit Dean's flying heads, falling from mid-air like dumplings.
Not only the flying heads, but also the slender arm monsters that were hiding in the shadows fell out of the shadows, rolled on the ground for a moment, and then stopped moving.
Attack range with a radius of 30 yards. Enough to cover most of the eighth floor of the Wizard's Tower. Even if it's just 25% of your attack's sonic damage. But with Dean's strength at the moment, it has also caused quite a lot of damage.
"Roar!"
Without hesitation, Dean let out another [Loud Roar].
Suddenly, the monsters in Edmund Shiyàn's room, who were still stubbornly resisting, except for the four-armed monsters, completely stopped eating.
After all, whether it's the flying head or the arm monster. They are not very good in terms of defense and vitality, and they are far less eye-catching than their own apparent strength - this is also a characteristic of transforming monsters, on the one hand, they are extremely prominent, and on the other hand, they are weak and pitiful.
The four-armed monster is no exception.
They have four arms, and with the strength of a Grand Knight, they can deal considerable damage, but they don't have enough speed.
Even if it is made up with four arms, there has been a big breakthrough in dexterity.
However, in terms of absolute speed, it is only a little faster than ordinary people - as long as you know that the four eyes are flawed. An ordinary soldier armed with a crossbow would be able to take out such a modified monster.
And Dean didn't have to do that, of course.
Seven or eight four-armed monsters surrounded Dean, swords in their hands. It is cut down as if it were cut into meat.
Slashed hard at Dean's [imitation. The armor of West Steel emitted a series of 'clanging' sounds, and then, these four-armed monsters suddenly collapsed to the ground as if they had been struck by lightning, making Dean easily harvest XP.
【Vajra body. Solid] and [Imitation. The combination of the Armor of Western Steel made it impossible for Dean to have any scruples about these melee combats and not being able to break his defenses.
It took less than two minutes from the time Dean entered the eighth floor of the Wizard Tower, which was full of monsters, to the end of the battle once and for all.
Obviously, this is something that the wizards on the upper two floors belonging to Edmund's room did not expect-
"Stop him!"
"Damn! We're on the verge of success! ”
"Hurry up, stop him!"
……
Such a shout fell into Dean's ears through the plank, and he felt the spell fluctuations that began to thicken, and Dean paused, but did not rush straight forward.
[Imitation. The armor of the West Steel is quite good at defending against physical damage, there is no doubt about it.
However, in the face of spell damage...... But it's not enough to see at all, and it's not much different from ordinary steel armor.
Even, the real [Armor of West Steel] is similar.
In the same way, Dean definitely didn't want to face a series of baptisms mixed with fire, frost, acid, sonic and other spells - although with his [physique] now entering the gold level, he had an extremely strong resistance and judgment advantage, but if there was a better choice, Dean would definitely choose the latter sensibly.
The window on the eighth floor of the Wizard's Tower was opened by Dean.
The windows were wide enough to drill a person out, and the magic traps that had been attached to the outer wall of the wizard's tower had long since disappeared - it was clear that these magic traps had gone into a dormant state with the destruction of the wizarding tower by the wizards of Edmund's room, which was naturally convenient for Dean.
Dean, who is both a sibling, climbs up the outer wall of the wizard's tower like an ape.
In just two leaps, Dean had already arrived at the window of the ninth floor—through the window, he could clearly see that six wizards were preparing their spells, and their eyes were locked on the entrance to the eighth floor leading to the ninth floor.
Lightly, Dean slowly pushed open the windows on the ninth floor.
At the moment of landing, [imitation. The dragon's head sword slashed out heavily, and the six wizards didn't even react, and they were smashed into a puddle of flesh.
【XP+80】
【XP+100】
……
A series of XP value prompts appeared in Dean's message bar, coupled with the previous sweep of the monsters in Edmund's room, the XP value that had been consumed due to the increase in [Mountain Spirit Power] rose back to 5000XP again.
Arguably, this is the fastest time Dean has ever gained XP.
And this is inseparable from Dean's deliberate suppression of his character level.
Otherwise, in the case of the same level, it is completely impossible to obtain so many XP points in a short period of time.
After all, strictly speaking, Dean is now completely 'skipping' the challenge.
It has an XP bonus!
"Sure enough. I made the right choice - after reaching the power of the mountain and the power of the trolls. Then consider the matter of character level. You can even postpone a little more...... Although the attributes obtained in each stage will increase, the attributes obtained from various secret arts are the same, and once the level of the character increases, the amount of XP obtained by the same level will inevitably decrease...... This is quite a disadvantage for me now! ”
With such a thought flashing through Dean's mind, he walked quickly towards the top of the wizard's tower. Walk to the tenth floor.
For the tenth floor of the Wizard's Tower, Dean has heard many legends about it.
Some say that there are secret treasures of wizards here.
Others say that there is a secret to becoming a gold class.
Others say that it is a place where the treasures of the gods have been lost.
But no matter which one it is, it is clearly stated that this is the core of the wizards, the core of the arcane island.
Therefore, it is not only wrapped in solid rocks, but also layers of magical traps. And a lot of guards guarding this place - except for going up from the ninth floor. There is simply no second way.
In normal times, the ninth floor is the real room of Mordis, a gold-level great wizard.
Therefore, it is simply difficult to pass.
However, nothing is absolute!
Dean looked at the corpses of the two battle wizards scattered on the ninth staircase, and looked at each other's stunned and stunned appearances, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Edmund is a madman, a bastard, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But again, Dean does not deny Edmund's intelligence and strength.
At least, the other party, with the strength of the silver level, played a gold level above the applause, even if there is an unknown secret in it, it is enough to make people admire.
And in the face of such an opponent, Dean is naturally cautious.
He stepped over the corpses of the two battle wizards, and then, slowly, approached the wooden door on the tenth floor of the wizard's tower.
As he stepped over the corpse of the battle wizard, a long staff he picked up pushed the wooden door.
To Dean's surprise, the wooden door on the tenth floor of the Wizard's Tower was pushed open very lightly, and there was no one inside—compared to the area of the other floors, it was only about half the size of the other floors.
The tenth floor of the Wizard's Tower, covered in metal plate after sheet.
The same is true for walls, floors, ceilings.
Each metal plate was covered with various magical inscriptions, and Dean glanced at it and recognized only one-twelfth of them, similar to the high wall he had seen last time in the 'Mist' circle.
The magical inscriptions seen on some of the metal plates were even more esoteric than those seen inside the 'Mist' circle, leaving Dean with no clue.
His gaze swept over the metal plates engraved with magical inscriptions.
Eventually, Dean's gaze stopped in the middle of his eyes—
A round, two-foot-diameter and five-foot-deep groove appeared in the empty room, and it was incomparably abrupt.
Obviously, there must have been something in this place before.
It's just that now it's nowhere to be found.
What was left there was a palm-sized crystal.
After the crystal flickered several times in a row, a translucent figure suddenly appeared on the crystal and was reflected in the room.
"Moldis, was you surprised to see another gift I have for you?"
In a hideous, frantic voice, Dean could see the translucent figure clearly.
A short man, a bald head, and a face full of scars.
"Edmund!"
The familiar face made Dean frown.
However, it was clear that it was only a recorded Influence Crystal, not a teleportation crystal, and Edmund couldn't hear Dean talking to himself, and likewise, he couldn't tell that it wasn't Mordis who was waiting for him.
"Haven't found it yet? Let's go find a window and take a look! ”
With a sense of pride, Edmund's translucent figure vanished, and the crystal completely dimmed.
Without hesitation, Dean rushed to the window on the ninth floor of the Wizard Tower, and looked out through the window.
In the direction of Wizard's Place, a magic cannon appeared at some point.
The huge muzzle of the cannon was obviously beyond the standard caliber of the magic cannon, and, inside the muzzle, a layer of glittering light was flashing.
Obviously, it has entered the state of charging!
And more importantly -
The muzzle of the magic cannon is aimed straight at the wizard's tower!
